community infrastructure
Public systems together
Community infrastructure is the shared physical and organizational systems that allow a community to function—roads, utilities, schools, hospitals, parks, and public services.
The term extends beyond concrete structures to include social systems: libraries, community centers, local governance.
When communities discuss infrastructure needs, they typically mean both the visible facilities and the less tangible networks of support that hold residents together.
